1 Period 8: In a Nutshell After World War II, the United States grappled with prosperity and unfamiliar international responsibilities while struggling to live up to its ideals. Key Concepts Part 1 A. The United States responded to an uncertain and unstable postwar world by asserting and working to maintain a position of global leadership, with far-reaching domestic and international consequences. B. United States policymakers engaged in a Cold War with the authoritarian Soviet Union, seeking to limit the growth of Communist military power and ideological influence, create a free-market global economy, and build an international security system. C. Cold War policies led to public debates over the power of the federal government and acceptable means for pursuing international and domestic goals while protecting civil liberties. Part 2 D. New movements for civil rights and liberal efforts to expand the role of government generated a range of political and cultural responses. E. Seeking to fulfill Reconstruction-era promises, civil rights activists and political leaders achieved some legal and political successes in ending segregation, although progress toward racial equality was slow. F. Responding to social conditions and the African American civil rights movement, a variety of movements emerged that focused on issues of identity, social justice, and the environment. G. Liberalism influenced postwar politics and court decisions, but it came under increasing attack from the left as well as from a resurgent conservative movement. Part 3 H. Postwar economic and demographic changes had far-reaching consequences for American society, politics, and culture. I. Rapid economic and social changes in American society fostered a sense of optimism in the postwar years. J. New demographic and social developments, along with anxieties over the Cold War, changed U.S. culture and led to significant political and moral debates that sharply divided the nation. Period 8 / Page 66
2 Significant Topics 1. U.S. Foreign Policy after World War II As postwar tensions dissolved the wartime alliance between Western democracies and the Soviet Union, the United States developed a foreign policy based on collective security, international aid, and economic institutions that bolstered non-communist nations. The Cold War fluctuated between periods of direct and indirect military confrontation and periods of mutual coexistence (or détente). Americans debated the merits of a large nuclear arsenal, the military-industrial complex, and the appropriate power of the executive branch in conducting foreign and military policy. a.

War in Southeast Asia Korea and Vietnam Concerned by expansionist Communist ideology and Soviet repression, the United States sought to contain communism through a variety of measures, including major military engagements in Korea and Vietnam. Although anticommunist foreign policy faced little domestic opposition in previous years, the Vietnam War inspired sizable and passionate antiwar protests that became more numerous as the war escalated, and sometimes led to violence.

The three branches of the federal government used measures including desegregation of the armed services, Brown v. Board of Education, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to promote greater racial equality. Continuing resistance slowed efforts at desegregation, sparking social and political unrest across the nation.

Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, s Liberalism and The War on Poverty Despite an overall affluence in postwar America, many people raised concerns about the prevalence and persistence of poverty as a national problem. Liberalism, based on anticommunism abroad and a firm belief in the efficacy of government power to achieve social goals at home, reached a high point of political influence by the mid-1960s. Liberal ideas found expression in Lyndon Johnson s Great Society, which attempted to use federal legislation and programs to end racial discrimination, eliminate poverty, and address other social issues. A series of Supreme Court decisions expanded civil rights and individual liberties. a. Baker v. Carr, 1962 b. Engel v. Vitale, 1962 c. Gideon v. Wainwright, 1963 Period 8 / Page 78

Arizona, Post-War Economic Prosperity A burgeoning private sector, federal spending, the baby boom, and technological developments helped spur economic growth.

The Sun Belt region emerged as a significant political and economic force. a. GI Bill of Rights, 1954 b. National Defense Student Loans, 1958 c. Sun Belt Period 8 / Page 79

Three Mile Island, Post-World War II Culture and Society Mass culture became increasingly homogeneous in the postwar years, inspiring challenges to conformity by artists, intellectuals, and rebellious youth. Feminists and young people who participated in the counterculture of the 1960s rejected many of the social, economic, and political values of their parents generation, introduced greater informality into U.S. culture, and advocated changes in sexual norms. a. baby boom Period 8 / Page 80

Woodstock, Attacks on 1960s Liberalism and the Rise of Conservatism Some groups on the left rejected liberal policies, arguing that political leaders did too little to transform the racial and economic status quo at home and pursued immoral policies abroad. Conservatives also challenged liberal laws and court decisions and perceived moral and cultural decline, seeking to limit the role of the federal government and enact more assertive foreign policies. The 1970s saw growing clashes between conservatives and liberals over social and cultural issues, the power of the federal government, race, and movements for greater individual rights. The rapid and substantial growth of evangelical Christian churches and organizations was accompanied by greater political and social activism on the part of religious conservatives. a.
